The next morning I did my usual routine and headed downstairs for breakfast. I made me a bowl of cereal then sat at the table. My mom walked over to me. "Morning sweet heart." I continued chewing after saying hello, my mom moved through the kitchen as she began making coffee. She started speaking again. "So, yesterday I heard about..um Solar? that was his name right?" I looked at my mom wondering where she was going with this. I nodded, "Yeah, Commander Solar, what about him?" She poured me a cup of coffee then one for herself. "They say his death was planned, and so much more. I just want to know if you're involved." I looked at my mom as I finished my food. "What do mean involved?" She sighed. "Your mother and I always knew whatever was going on with this war was off, I want you to stay away from anything else relating back to those monsters, that's all sweet heart." Putting my dish in the sink "Sure mom." My mom placed her mug on the counter. "You got lucky Geia, it may not be the case next time." I walked back into my room and called Energy "Do you think one of us set up Solar" "One of us? "Yeah like a soldier." "Do you think so?" I thought for a moment. "I don't know I'm a little suspicious." "The Earthlings are liars and they're evil, we don't have to believe them." "I know...hey you know what would take my worries go away?" They sighed into the phone. "What's that short stuff." my face fell blank. "Never. do that again. Anyway what if we figured it out ourselves." She laughed. "Gods we're already war hero's Geia." I rolled my eyes. "And now we're spies." "You sound crazy." I smiled. "Maybe I am but we have to avenge our Commander." "If, there's anything to avenge, I don't want worry." "It's nothing wrong with knowing for certain." They huffed. "If I said no you'd go and do something anyway?" "Of course." "Ok I'll go" "Great." She spoke before hanging up. "I'll pick you up in 10." "Ok wear your uniform!" I grabbed my Velcro patches and ran out the door "Hey." Energy said opening my door. I smirked "Hello, you look dashing." She smiled as she started leaving my drive way. "I called the others by the way, they also want to get in on your brilliant and/or very illegal plan." I grinned from ear to ear. "Good the more the merrier." We pulled up to the base leaving the car soon after. Okilios, River, Zelda, Six, Rockey and Arachne pulled up around the same time we did. River spoke. "Hey guys fill us in." I told them everything then we started phase one: Find The Killer...if there is one.
"Ok so first you all may be wondering why we're at base, and I have an answer for that!" They all looked at me expectantly. "Um well evidence!" Rockey looked at me dumbfounded. "You don't know do you?" I smiled. "It's not my fault, Energy said yes too quickly!" They laughed. Six spoke. "Well obviously we want to get into the building right?" I nodded. "Well let's start there." We walked into the building easily with our ID's there were some close calls with some staff but the other's stopped to talk and distract them. Energy decided that we should make our way to Commanders office. "I'll stay outside to make sure no one comes by." I started looking around the room, I turned toward a desk seeing a few stacked papers. I quickly brought my attention to those. It had been nothing but minor things that he was meant to do, obviously dying wasn't in his plan. I continued looking through his desk. Which hadn't been much since most thing's were locked, after a while I heard a knock on the door. Energy peaked her head in. "Hey we can't be here long, we're not on official business." I looked around the room noticing something. "Just a few more minutes. They nodded then closed the door. I continued over to the thing that caught my eye. There was a door behind his desk, which happened to be a closet it had been left opened and how it looked seemed as if someone was in a hurry to get something and go.
There was a list with a photo attached to it on the floor of him posing with all the other graduating commanders in his class. The class must have been hard because there were only five people including him. There were 4 girls and 2 guys, everyone was holding up Commander Florb except one of the girls, for some reason she was side-eyeing him. I hid the paper then left the room. "I'm ready to leave." Once out of the building Energy and I looked at the paper and photo I found as we waited for everyone else. "Whos that" Arachne asked "I don't know but it looks like our first clue." "Look there's something on the back" Zelda said, I flipped the paper over. It had been names written down Violet Sunn, Florb Solar, Garris Steel, Lark Moone, Freetz Axel and Silk Night class of '30. Rockey spoke "Why is that lady staring at Commander?" Six responds "I don't know but that makes her our first suspect." I continue looking at the girl in the picture, then spoke.
"Now we just have to match names to faces and find out where she is stationed now, if she still in active duty." We all got into the cars we arrived in. We drove back to my house and got on my computer. I looked up all their names. We found out that the girl who was side-eyeing our Commander was Violet Sunn. She was stationed about 260 miles away from our base. She was 6'2 and looked very menacing. We couldn't find a single photo where she was smiling or even looking happy. She was so serious, one of the photos showed dagger tattooed on her second left arm, with that we wanted to continue pursuing her as a suspect. Since where she was located was only 300 miles away, we all told our parents we were going on a quick trip to a restaurant outside the city. We all piled into Zelda's truck and made our way to the low way. The drive had been so long that everyone started falling asleep except me, Rockey, and of course the driver Zelda. Soon everyone started wanting food, we brought it the leef bologna sandwiches we packed. Since we were in the car the heecse had slightly melted which made my favorite sandwich better than ever. Finally, we pulled up to a gated parking lot where we were stopped by 3 security guards.
"And who are you all?" Zelda spoke. "War vets sir." One of the guards smirked. "Sure, you got ID." "No problem," Zelda said giving him what he asked for, the security guard snatched it from Zelda and walked away. The two other security guards stayed behind with flashlights in our car after about 10 minutes he came back and let us through. "Go ahead." Zelda parked and everyone exited the car. As we walked in we were patted down. They let us pass after confirming we were clear. We walked through the compound fumbling around for a while but we eventually found her office. We waited for her to come to her office, once she made her way over we begin walking to her. Once we were inside we cleared our throats to get her attention. Looking at her fully rather then the picture, she seemed to have shrunk. She had less muscle and her face was calmer, she looked as if she'd been crying. I spoke slow, as I put the photo on her desk then Energy asked "Ma'am, do you know who Florb Solar is?" She sat down behind her desk. "Yes now why are you here?" she folded her arms across her chest. "Do you know what happened to him?" "Well if you have that picture you must want to know something more, spit it out." I spoke again. "Here you look like enemies." She looked at the picture. "Have you done any research? that's a joke we used to play back then. He was my bestfriend." She said before pulling out photos half where they took turns side eying each other, then the rest of the pictures showed them smiling together. "Is this all you came here for? If so then let me sulk in peace." We took our hats off. "We're so sorry ma'am we didn't know." She looked at us. "Of course, you didn't nobody does. You were his rookies right?" "Yes ma'am." Arachne spoke. " You all seem very ahead of yourselves just like him...I loved him but that's not a good thing, now if that's all you can leave now. Oh and if your trying to uncover something. Plan more or else it'll be a dead end." We walked out of the room and softly closed the door. We got out of the base as fast as possible and regrouped in the car.
"Guys she knows what we were there for we just broke that ladies spirit." I spoke "Hopefully not I hope she moves on because that's such a sad way to live" Zelda said starting the car. "We just intruded her space, let's do something nice for her" Rockey said from the passenger seat. "Nobody's touched these chocolates yet" I said looking in our snack bag. "Perfect, ' I'm sorry for blaming you for your friend's murder gift.'" Energy said. I wrote a note that said {Sorry for disturbing you hope this can help with the hard times.}
Then we set out to find some more evidence. "I think we need a new space to work in, my rooms getting a bit cramped" I said, we had made our way back to my house an hour or so ago. Everyone sat huddled around me. "I'm very comfortable." Energy said with their legs on my leg. River gagged. "Of course you are." Zelda spoke after. "Yeah I think you're right my dad built me a gaming room when he found out he was having me, I haven't used it for gaming though so I think it would be perfect for all of us." "Alright well let's go." "Cool." Zelda said getting up from the floor, we made our way to Zelda's place. "Gaming room?" He opened the door. "Yup" the room looked pristine like it's been cleaned every day since it was built.
